Gers recover to hit Hibs for four

Date published: Sunday 27th December 2009 2:15

The result restored the Gers’ four-point advantage over Celtic at the top of the table.

Anthony Stokes left the Scottish champions reeling when he claimed the SPL’s fastest-ever goal after just 12.4 seconds – beating the record previously set by Saulius Mikoliunas for Hearts back in 2006 – but it was not enough for Hibs to maintain their impressive assault on the Old Firm’s dominance this season.

Rangers hit back through a double from Kenny Miller (21 and 66) and goals from Kris Boyd (37) and Nacho Novo (53) to end the Edinburgh club’s unbeaten run of 13 league games and bring their own tally of goals to 19 for the month of December.
